Most courses still use the Tippman 98 markers. They're reliable, easy to service, and hold their own. A remarkable marker considering how long it's been around. With practice you can get anywhere from 12 - 17 shots off per second. We had tippmans, not sure what model. No way you can get 12 shots persecond on a semi-auto... I've been witness to 24/sec on a spider. It's a technique thing to get <10/sec. I think my best was 16 on a Tippman. Did your markers look like this: [image]http://www.speedytoys.com/images/98custom.jpg[/image] They're the stock marker for most fields. Serious folks get something with a 2 finger trigger that is electronically assisted. Though match-play requires them to be semi-auto, non assisted. You'd be amazed at the rate of fire a pro-am or a collegiate player can get with a bare bones semi-auto. Basically if you practice enough, you can go through unthinkable amounts of paint per minute. <edit to fixor the picture>

Sizing is what's throwing me at the moment. A large fits quite well, though I don't know if it'll be large enough to wear over my layers/soft shell. The XL is big. And I think it's just too roomy to be of any use, despite having pull chords at the waist. I'll have to bring my layers with me if I go back. Where? Mine seems pretty gUd, but I didn't get it until the end of last season. They don't seem to appear all that warm. Granted, it will be an outer layer, but maybe its the difference between primaloft and down. I've been a down weenie for a long time now. Gucci outlet in Freeport. They've got several L and XL. The colors may not be great, but for the price, who cares.

Gneiss, I'll bet that was an awesome show, especially in that small of a venue. Though it does remind me of a rather good joke: What's the difference between a rock guitarist and a jazz guitarist? A rock guitarist plays three chords in front of 20,000 people.
Speaking of teh music; I stayed home from climbing this weekend to rock out with clausti's uncle's rock band; they needed an extra guitarist and keyboard player for an upcoming gig. It was frickng awesome, first time playing with a group since the infamous clamhead wedding GnR youtube episode.

Mine is XL. It's good over layers.

They have neckguards. For pansies.
